Cronette for Mac OS X upgraded to version 1.7
Tension Software has updated Cronette (http://pomola.com/products_cronette/cronette.html), a Cocoa task launcher for Macs and Mac servers, to version 1.7.
Cronette lets you specify tasks to be launched automatically by the Mac. It can be used on unattended Mac Servers or also on regular Mac workstations for tasks to execute during the night or for recurring tasks to be performed on a regular basis. It provides different type of launch tasks: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.
Any task can be specified to launch different type of execution: open applications or documents from disk; open different type of URL; execute different type of actions: restart, shutdown, sleep; sending a message to the log; execute a complex UNIX command. Version 1.7 offers improved opening of URLs using web secure protocol, enhanced management of task runnable automatically at document opening only for a limited number of times per day, and interface tweaks.
Cronette costs $10 for a single user license, though version 1.7 is a free update for registered users. A demo is available for download.
